For those of you who maybe interested, Easthill Outdoors has a P210 for sale. This is no ordinary run of the mill US assembled P210. This my friends is a very rare brand new 6" stainless P210 direct from SIG/SAUER's German factory custom department. If you want this puppy, be prepared to open your wallets WIDE.
P210

A few must have recently come into the country. Forum sponsor Al Flaherty's also has new German 210's in stock.
Gorgeous guns!

Flaherty's had 5" and 6"....I see both are sold out now. Interesting that Flaherty's appeared to have priced their's about $200 higher than Eastern and yet sold out quickly. I guess visibility matters.

No, only the P210A target is American made ($2099). The $4,000+ Supertargets in 5 and 6" versions they had (both sold out now) were German made.....as is the one Easthill has in stock.
AFAIK the only P210 version being made in the US is the P-210A that sells for around $2100.

$4300 plus tax etc if anyone else was wondering what a wide open wallet equates too.... a bit surprised they couldn't get a 10 round magazine paired with that long grip.
You've got a point there, it should come with a 10 round mag.
Good question...... I'm not 100% sure but I believe the German P210 Super Target's and the specialty X5-X6's still go through the Sig Mastershop with hand fitting, closer tolerances etc. I think the US made P210A's are just regular assembly line guns.
Not much... 12131 on SigForum has a really good review of Swiss, German, and USA made P210. The result was a very surprising tie by the USA built one to the others. They all worked very, very well.
It should be noted also there is a significant difference in the locking system of Swiss/German P210's vs the new American made version; it's not just the exact same pistol now being made in the U.S., but a different design approach. The Euro P210s use a 1911-esque system with a series of lugs on the barrel that match corresponding cuts on the slide. The American P210 locking system is the P22X style - cheaper to produce and without the hand fitting (and reflected in the price of the U.S. version), but the end result still seems to be a quality pistol from all reports.
Breech lock vs lug lock is a major one.
Yes, but you have to keep in mind that it has been field tested and is now certified Bill. If I'm going to range test a P210 and sell it, you really need to consider the value of my time.....*snicker*
If you really like a nice bit of Swiss hand fitting (kind of like the old Pythons) and accuracy that will give the P210 a run for it's money, you need to look at the the 90's Sphinx AT2000S guns....the machining, tolerances, fit and finish on them is insanely good. They have quite the cult following in the USA, here it seems like nobody has heard of them. But they are like Swiss watches, cleaved from solid billets of stainless steel.....It is basically the Swiss saying 'Yes, the CZ 75 is cute, but we can make it better. Much, much better.....'......I was happy to scoop one up, they are pure Swiss rightness!

I'd agree with that. My X5 Scandic outshoots my P210-2. I'd love to be able to compare it to a modern 210 Legend Target or Supertarget.

hehehe....I should start a business!
Beauty - I've read about them, but doubt if I'll ever see one or shoot one!
My own little impromptu test X5L1 vs P210 Legend; with me shooting it doesn't really mean much though LOL. (yes I found the grip screw in the case after
)

Absolutely. It wasn’t meant to be a knock against the American gun or that design in general. I think results have shown it to be every bit as accurate and consistent.
